Over the weekend Durban Kwaito aficionado DJ Tira was performing at The University Of Venda where out of nowhere he was struck by a rogue beer bottle. The DJ had to stop his performance and then rushed to his hotel room where he was attended to. The stunt left Tira with a gashing wound on his face which will serve as a reminder of the ordeal.
Tira took to his social media to express his grievances to his fans and did so with a bit of humour.
I got hit by a bottle while performing at University of Venda this morning. Traumatic experience. I wont be taking pictures anymore, I’m sure you dont want a photo with Scarface
– Said DJ Tira.
The entire escapade was captured on video and shared on social media. It shows DJ Tira play his set when a bottle flies in to frame and brushes against his left eye and he scrabbles for cover thereafter.
